General Admission
Where do whales go when they disappear beneath the surface? Join marine mammal research scientist Dr Virginia Andrews-Goff as she reveals the hidden journeys of migratory whales through the waters of Australia and the Southern Ocean.

Using footage, and animations, we’ll get up close to the largest animal that has ever lived and find out how scientists track where whales travel, what they do when we can’t see them, and how this information helps protect them. We’ll also look at the new technology changing the way researchers study whales, and what it might reveal next.
